The Fair Workweek campaign has been working tirelessly to end the brutal practice of on-call scheduling at retailers across the country.

Since the NYS Attorney General took action in April and the San Francisco Retail Worker Bill of Rights went into effect in July, local and state legislation has taken off and major retailers that include the Gap, Abercrombie and Fitch, Williams-Sonoma and Victoria’s Secret have publicly announced they are ending their traditional on-call scheduling policy. Emboldened by this progress, more and more worker-leaders are speaking out in the media.  An op-ed written by a Gap employee and Minnesoata NOC member was published just a week before Gap made its announcement to reform its on-call scheduling policy. Now, we are working with Minnesota Gap Inc. workers and NOC on an online petition that calls for more scheduling reforms.

CPD played a critical role in making the Attorney General probe possible and building enough pressure to compel this kind of sweeping reform. We are still assessing how many thousands of workers will no longer be required to be available without compensation.
